THE DICTIONARIES' G L I T C H

GLISS(ADE)GaLaSHGimel-Lamed-Shin

Gull-LUSH__________גלש__________[GLS]

ROOTS: A GLISSADE is an intentional slide by a
mountain climber or a ballet dancer. Old Dutch glisten, is to slide. An
accidental slip, or error, even by a computer, is a GLITCH, from German glitschen,
to slip, slide. The sliding by of musical tones is a GLISSANDO.

The AHD guesses that French glisser, to slide, is an
“alteration of Old French glier, to glide, of Germanic origin.”We are referred to the IE “root” ghel2(to shine), on the incredulous theory that words of gliding are “possibly
distantly related.”

גלשGaLaS(H) is to slide, glide or, later, to ski, and,
later still, to surf the internet. Songs6:5
should read:

Your hair is like a flock of goats glissading down from Gilead.

The King James Version had the gracefully sliding goats
"appear;" different JPS versions had them "trail" or
"stream."

BRANCHES: The American Heritage Dictionary has
slipped once again here, but they do cite Old High German glitan (to glide) and some relevant cognates like GLASS, GLAZE,
GLIDE, GLOSS and a GLITCH variant called GLITSH. These words belong together
for their slipperiness, not their shine.Add GLACIS, from Old French glacier (to slip), as well as
GLACIER.GLACIAL and GLACIATE should be
included.

French
glisser (to slide, slip), and glissant
(slippery)are easily from גלשGaLaSH (S-F). French glissade is a harmless slip,
while a glissement involves a landslide [Josef
Zuares] .

Ice
cream is creamy smooth, not shiny. Ice and ice cream is therefore glace
in French, glass in Swedish. Modern Hebrew ice cream, גלידה GLeeYDaH, is more
related to Arabic snow, galid –for snow and ice
see “CRYOGENESIS.” But smoothness and congealed coldness both speak to the
sound and sense of GL + fricative or dental. Polish ice-cream is lody,
as “lod” is “ice.”

German
glasieren is GLAZE, ice (related to GLASSY and smooth
words), from Edenic slippery gliding, which preceded Arabic iciness. German glatt
(smooth) is used in the Yiddish term "GLATT kosher" because in the
strictest kosher slaughtering the lungs of the animal has to be healthily smooth.
[Eta Kushner] GLT easily slides to GLD, GLIDE (a cognate of GLISSADE) and
SLIDE (no IE “root”).

A GLIDING bird is a GLEDE, and GLIB
meant “slippery” (AHD); both appear as “cognates” ofIE “root” ghel-2
(to shine), see “GLITTER.”

Animals smooth and GLOSS over their fur
with their tongue.The linguistic GLOSS
is from Greek glossa (tongue), ghlossa
in Modern Greek. GLOSSARY and GLOSSOLALIA (what may have happened
neuro-linguistically at The Tower of Babel) are attributed to an IE “root”
named glogh (thorn). לשון LaSHOAN
(tongue—Judges 7:5; language-- Genesis
10:20) is easily slipped into this entry; see “SLANG” and “LICK.”How did GLTwords like GLOTTAL, GLOTTIS and POLYGLOT come from a GLS?The AHD cannot explain why Greek glōtta
also means tongue, but the ש Shin/ SH always became a T when Aramaic was spun off from the
Edenic human language program. Historical linguists with no knowledge of
Semitic are tongue-tied.

GLISSANDO is a gliding effect in music, as with adjacent
piano keys. French glisser is to slip or slide.Let
your LaSHOAN (tongue) be a backwardsגלשוןGaLSHOAN (glider)ת and let's SLOG and
גלשGaLaSH (slide) in our GALOSHES through the שלג SHeLeG
(snow).See "SLEIGH" and"SLUDGE."

Listed
cognates by the AHD for the Indo-European “root” slei
or lei (slimy) include:LIME
(birdlime), LINIMENT, LOAM,
OBLIVION, SCHLEP (שלףSHaLaPH is to slide
out),SLICK ( חלקK[H]aLahQ is smooth;
like SLEIGH it echoes קרחQeRaK[H] (bald, ice…like the
bald head of a mountain or GLACIER), and a reversed גלשGaLaSH), SLIGHT,
SLIME, SLIP and SLIPPERY. The Swedish word for “ to slip, to slide” is halka, fromK[H]aLaQ, smooth (Genesis 20:11), related to .[Matts Bergman]

To GLISTEN is to shine.While GLOSSY can be shiny, the sound and
sense originally appears to be about texture. A clue that the Lamed-Shin of גלשGaLaSH andלשוןLaSHoaN appears in Ukrainian l.i.s.
words.Two words mean “shiny” and
“glossy,” while three others are about baldness.

Back to the skating, skiing, skimmingחלקK[H]aLahQ.A KAYAK is a lightweight
"Eskimo" canoe propelled with a double-bladed paddle. Designed by the
Inuit or Yupic people, and named qajaq.

Al L. Ansley compares this to the CAIQUE, a narrow
rowboat of the Middle East, traced to Old Turkic qayghuq and a
word meaning to slide.

The KAYAK smoothly glides over the water, and Ansley
intuits an Edenic source-word. Something with two gutturals (throat letters),
and a "weak" letter in between could work. החליק HeK[H]LeeYQ is to slide. The root חלקHet-Lamed-Koof means smooth and slippery... a secondary
source of SLICK after the guttural-liquid-fricativeגלשGaLASH.

The verb to SAIL precedes the noun. The dictionary would
have you think that If you SAIL through an exam, smoothly gliding through,you are ”assailing,” attacking. It is
difficult to rig up SAILING to a sane sourcewithout knowing that German Segel and
Old English segl are an M312 metathesis of גלשGaLaSH
(slide, gliding over the water).

Lithuanian (a
Baltic language, related to Slavic) has both glostyti (to stroke, make smooth…
as with the GLOSSY tongue of a mother mammal) and glotnas (smooth, sleek). So GLATT and GLOSSY are smoothly related. (ש Shin/SH is a dental via Aramaic shift -- see “TAURUS”)We therefore add guttural-liquid-fricative /dental “smooth” words to the “glass” words in
the Slavic word-search below:

Named for its slippery, GLOSSY texture,
GLASS is
well-disguised in Slavic:

GLASS is easier to see in
Germanic:Danish, Dutch, Icelandic and
Swedish glas, German Glas and Norwegian glass.

The IE “root” of GLISSADE, GLIDE and
GLITCH is ghel-2 (to shine). Without factoring in the ש Shin as fricative or dental (via Aramaic), the Semiticaly-challenged historical linguists have
to invent etymologies based on Sound, with no Sense. Old
English glida (kite, the gliding
bird) gets lumped together with “cognates” like GLITTER and GOLD. One fine day Western etymology will have the
higher standards of Edenic EMeTolgy, where Sound and Sense are required.
